The days passed quickly, and the two girls hid the secret of that night in their hearts, even if Fang Yanqing found that Ji Ying's arm could not be lifted for many days, and his face was very bad, but he was deceived and said that because Miao Ying had pressed Ji Ying's arm while sleeping, it didn't matter, Fang Yanqing believed it and did not pursue it.

One day three months later, it coincided with the day of the market. In the past, she would make all the embroidery, pendants, straw sandals and other goods in the morning, and sell them at the market, but this time she was a little frightened.

Two months ago, Ji Ying disguised herself as a man to participate in the township test and won Xie Yuan in one fell swoop, which attracted a lot of attention. Many squires and eunuchs were surprised to find out through her that her master was actually the contemporary Confucian Mr. Fang Yanqing.

For a while, those who thought that their children could be named on the gold list and the glorious lintel all came to apprentice with heavy gifts, but they were all politely declined by Fang Yanqing on the grounds of old age and illness. Most people retreat from the difficulties and seek another famous teacher, but there are also a few people who rely on their high position and rich financial resources, and do not take Fang Yanqing in their eyes, and they are unwilling, and the prefect Liu Ling is "the best among them".

Liu Ling's son Liu Yujie is a standard gentleman, except for nostalgia for Flower Street and Willow Lane, eating, drinking and having fun, he doesn't know anything, but he has raised a group of stick slaves and is domineering.

Three days ago, when Liu Ling asked the servant to come to the teacher with a box of gold bars, Fang Yanqing also found the same excuse to excuse himself, he never thought that Liu Ling had not expressed his position, Liu Yujie threatened that Fang Yanqing's master and apprentice looked down on him, so he brought someone to "welcome", but it was actually a kidnapping, fortunately, the general judge around Liu Ling has always admired Fang Yanqing's knowledge, and after several dissuasions, the tense was calmed.

However, what kind of person Liu Yujie is, he will naturally not give up. So the ingenuity was apprehensive.

Ji Ying naturally understands the twists and turns, so she doesn't want to go out smartly. But Miao Tailor looked at the rice bowl at home and decided to go.

"Then I'll go with you." Ji Ying said as she packed her things.

Miao Judge shook his head: "Wouldn't it be more eye-catching for you to go?" It's too cold, and your body can't bear it, so I'll go by myself, and bring some medicine for you and grandpa by the way. ”

After discussing for a long time, he finally let Miao Cut go alone.

Although Miao Tailor was apprehensive, he still arranged the goods as usual and waited for someone to buy them. But as expected, what she was waiting for was not Ruyun's customers, but Liu Yujie and a group of stick slaves.

Liu Yujie's appearance really wronged his name. Although he is not short, he is really fat and stocky, and his fat face is embedded with various pimples, which makes his almost flat face show some furrows. The emerald green silk shirt was dotted with a few gold-plated buttons, which made people's eyes hurt against the golden light. On his belt hung a ring-shaped jade pendant, and a string of peach blossoms fell. The boots are gilded with gold thread and are magnificent.

He was like a verdant mountain, blocking the sight of Miao Tailor, and after a few glances at Miao Tailor, he revealed his hue: "This is Fang Yanqing's granddaughter?" ”

Miao Tailor was very uncomfortable, so he replied with a cold face, "Yes." ”

"He's pretty handsome."

Miao Judge didn't answer, and hurriedly packed his things.

"That's good, you be my concubine, and your grandfather will be my teacher, so that we will become a family, and your family can follow me to eat and drink spicy food, and you don't have to sell these things here anymore." As he spoke, Liu Yujie grabbed Miaojie's hand and thought about it. Everyone around him knows Liu Yujie's character, not to mention that he also brought six or seven hooligans with wooden sticks, and whoever dared to come out hid far away.

Suddenly, a bony hand knocked off Liu Yujie's hand. The man looked to be less than twenty years old, with a well-defined face, a high nose, thick and slender eyebrows, and very energetic eyes. His skin is dark and yellowish, his body is thin but not weak, and he has a long sword hanging on his left side.

She didn't recognize this person at first, but when she thought about it, he was the injured young man who broke into her house that night.

Liu Yujie saw that someone had ruined a good thing, and he was immediately annoyed, and wanted to push the other party away, but he didn't expect the other party to not move at all, looking at him like a joke, he was even more annoyed and angry, shouting for the stick slave to "teach" the young man.

I saw that the young man kicked Liu Yujie away, and opened his arms to greet the stick slaves. However, in the blink of an eye, several minions who had just been invincible were suddenly beaten all over the ground looking for teeth, unable to move.

The young man walked up to Liu Yujie, who was lying on the ground and screaming at the top of his voice, grabbed him by the neck, let him behave no matter how he told him, and punched him in the face.

Miao Judge saw that the young man was beating hard, and hurriedly went over to stop him, but the man didn't seem to have the intention of stopping, so Miao Judge directly begged for mercy for him, and asked him to let Liu Yujie go.

"Have you really forgiven him?" The young man asked.

"Yes, I forgive him, please let him go." Miao Judge hurriedly said.

The young man thought that he was afraid of causing trouble, so he asked again: "You don't have to be afraid, he won't dare to trouble you afterwards." ”

"Be forgiving and forgiving, I don't have any deep hatred with him, there is no need to make things bigger. Let him go. ”

The man looked at Miao Tailor with a sincere look in his eyes, and he didn't procrastinate, and threw Liu Yujie out casually. Liu Yujie's entourage was relieved, and they were busy carrying their masters on their backs, and ran away with their belts.

Driving away the big trouble, the wonderful judge breathed a sigh of relief. She walked up to the man, handed over a handkerchief embroidered by herself, and said, "Thank you for helping me get rid of this group of scoundrels." Give you a handkerchief to wipe your hands. ”

The man took the handkerchief, unfolded it, and saw that it was embroidered with a few blooming magnolias and two butterflies with wings fluttering, delicate and agile, attracting people's affection, and couldn't help but look at it carefully, how could he bear to wipe his hands. Seeing that the man was standing still and looking at his work, Miao Juan immediately blushed and made a gesture to snatch it back. Although the man didn't expect her to rob it, but after all, he was a martial arts practitioner, and unconsciously clenched the handkerchief tighter, and when he saw Miao Cut's embarrassed demeanor, he realized that the action of the two just now was very inappropriate, but when he sent it back, Miao Judge was embarrassed to accept it. The two stood there awkwardly again.

"You...... Who are you? "The clever judge broke the embarrassing situation first.

The man took the handkerchief into his arms and replied, "Duanmu Lingfeng." ”

Miao Zhi thought to herself, how do I know who Duanmu Lingfeng is, this person is really like gold, but she is still polite, and she knows her name: "My name is Fang Miaoqi." ”

"Oh."

It's really a treasure of words!

"What are you doing here?"

"Looking for you!"

"Huh?" The Judge couldn't help but exclaim.

Duanmu Lingfeng's expression was indifferent: "I've been looking for you for a long time. I had no intention of breaking into your house that day, and I was taken away by a friend, so I don't remember the location of your house. I wandered around Huaiming Village for several days, but I didn't find it, so I had to ask my friend for help, and who knew that I ran into you. ”

"Looks like you're here to thank us."

"Yes."

"It's okay," said the Judge with a smile, "but you don't have to worry about it." But you have to be careful not to be targeted again. ”

"Okay."

Miao Judge thought about the toss just now, there was no way to do business, so he had to pack up his things and go home. Duanmu Lingfeng saw that Miao Jie's face was uncertain, and when he thought back to her hut, he suddenly had an idea.

"Miss Fang," Duanmu maintained a serious attitude, "there is a reluctant request below. ”

Miao Tailor stopped what he was doing and waited for Duanmu to speak.

"I'm here with my friends and want to spend a few days in your house. Don't worry, I won't spend the night in vain. As he spoke, Duanmu showed off his bulging money bag.

At the beginning, Miao Juan felt that it was inconvenient for a man in Duanmu to stay at her house, but seeing that he was trying to increase the cost of the accommodation, he "reluctantly" agreed.

In this way, Miao Cut and Duanmu Lingfeng returned home together with goods, medicinal materials, and rice noodles. Ji Ying heard the brief introduction of Miao Tailor, and happily contained Duanmu, and also vacated the west wing room for Duanmu as a guest room. Fang Yanqing looked at Duanmu a few more times, but didn't say anything, even if he agreed.

After Duanmu Lingfeng stayed, he soon discovered the special features of this family: Fang Yanqing's generation of Confucians condescended to the poor countryside; Fang Miao's young girl shuttles between the city; What's even more strange is that Ji Ying, obviously a little girl, is dressed as a man, taking the imperial examination, and is talented. Intrigued, he asked the Judge for advice.

Miao Judge intended to know Duanmu's identity and asked for an exchange of secrets, Duanmu agreed, and Miao Cut told Duanmu about the experience of the three of them, which caused Duanmu to sigh for a while. And Duanmu also told his story to Miao Cut and Ji Ying.
